How come no Union Rod.? Did Kelty from the ACTU
encourage "amalgamation".?
It was a Federal LABOR government who commissioned the
Hillmer report, which put so many railway and power
industry Australians out of work.
It was a State LABOR government which had the Lou Yang
power station sold off before it was commissioned.
But I guess Kennett and Howard will get the blame.
